Nothing says "coping with loss" like dressing up your dog in hilarious outfits.

Pay the money, it's probably way too much but we haven't spent a dime yet and it's the only option I can see us coming out on top.

Also Accounting and Trade, let's actually learn how to make good use of our cash.

Presence X 2, if we're (finally) going to get violent, we should also get intimidating.

As intimidating as a 14 year old anime princess can get, anyways.

Presence and Elegance, need to take advantage of royal demeanor having a bonus for once.

Reflexes X 2

If were going out to big public events soon, might be a good idea to be capable of avoiding a sudden death via assassin or angry peasant.

Also Willful, Coronet, and participate but don't speak.

Seconded.

Sparkle princess magic, activate, or something.

Let's go full on magic mode now that we can max those stats out.

Willful, Wield Magic, Magical Girl

Also, not having to worry about burning your mouth when you sip hot things, is the best mundane use of magic.

If we end up dying because we SUCCEED a check but "the other spell is too powerful", I'm gonna be so pissed.

Sounds like more of a "Partial Success" thing. The game's cruel but I doubt it'd punish a "Success"ful check in such a direct way.

Also hoping on the Polearm x 2 bandwagon, and just to annoy certain people, a vote to wear the Magical Girl outfit.

Penakoto
Aug 21, 2013

I'm voting wield magic X 2, we're good enough at stabbing dudes for now, let's learn to burn dudes.

Wear the tabard though, it's an ok outfit.

On the one hand, the earl is suspicious, on the other hand, we failed an intel check and probably don't know the full story, or are ignorant of who else is suspicious.

I'm gonna go with Blame him, and hope he isn't innocent and immediately executed.

Penakoto
Aug 21, 2013

Imprison Him, exactly what I was hoping would be an option. This way, if turns out it wasn't him, he can be released.

A random commoner, because those other options sound boring.

This is probably going to get us killed, but whatever.

I dunno about the party, but I think we should train up Wield Magic X 2 and max it out!

MAXIMUM MAGICAL GIRL

EDIT:

Also wear the MAGICAL GIRL outfit

Oh well.

Keep Julianna around, Accounting X 3

I say lets get our Lumen crystal thing asap and do so via smarts, not style.

Penakoto
Aug 21, 2013

We already threw her in the dungeon, so might as well stick with working on our emotion.

Which should be Yielding.

So we can continue boosting Accounting, Trade and Production.


As for the necklace, I doubt we'll have the skill to refuse. If we do, then yeah, don't wear it.

Penakoto
Aug 21, 2013

Free her, trade and production, apologise.

Penakoto
Aug 21, 2013

Free her, or visit her if we don't.

Production or Trade X 3 (whichever is lower, I'm unsure).

Buy us an Ixion

Invest in the invention of the printing press.

Trying to execute any sort of magic user rarely works out for the executioner, leave her be.

Penakoto
Aug 21, 2013

We've successfully invented the printing press, how about preparing for inventing proper health care next?

Might as well start with battlefield medicine (times 3), since the lack of knocking how to properly remove an arrow was also our first death.

Also execute, so whats his face doesn't get pissy again.

Show weekend events.

Go to the parade but don't make a speech.

Also I still think we should boost the medical skills for the aforementioned reasons, them being inventing healthcare and preventing death #1, so, Battlefield Medicine X 3.

Sure, meditation and lore, why not.

Stay yielding
because anger leads to suffering, and a bonus weapon skills, that we might as well neglect at this point, too late to become good enough at them to ever matter.

I'll go with 2x Composure first, then angry. but...

It is still a long way off, but I have to ask, is the general plan to go to the party, get shot and use our battlefield medicine to heal ourselves? Because our archery and reflexes are not good. Unless that choice of what to use our agents for will help us.
We could just not go, but dammit, we need to mingle and forge business connections. Also, cake.

This is what I was hoping for, plus the health care event I didn't realize we already, but I guess we'll be skipping the party or dying again.

Raise Taxes, as long as we put the money to good use, and don't mistreat the peasants, it should be cool...?

Don't execute the prisoner, twice we've ordered an execution so far, both times the person tried (and once, succeeded) to kill us for it. This guy may or may not have the powers of hell backing him up... enough said.

You guys are pissing off all the best people this run, and we have no real way to defend ourselves from them.

Composure to max it out, Presence so we can work on 100%ing that whole skill type branch.

Really would be a waste to increase Trade if we're never taking off the tux.
